Yes, thank you. I especially appreciate the part about "friction and time" that is added to the process when you are working with personal (painful) material, doing research and, I would add, when you are making comics. The artwork takes so much time (for me, anyway). Thanks for this and for all the work you make.

It’s true! Comics are double the work with both writing and drawing.

I was just having this conversation with myself this morning (in both written and verbal, talking-aloud-to-myself forms). I do the thing--in my case, making comics--because I have to do the thing. Fortunately, I love doing the thing, even when the thing is dang hard. Thanks for this!!

Hard things can be enjoyable for sure!

Love this - and I agree - the impulse is to express, reflect, process - the making is the reward - this is why AI offends. I still feel like a beginner all the time (after decades!)
